Personal Literacy Narrative

Improved Essays
I second all of the points brought up by Chris in his responce to your incredible writing. I was deeply moved by your literacy narrative. By simply having the pleasure of spending the past month or so with you, I would have never known about the part of your life that you wrote so passionately about in your literacy narrative. I often find it so intriguing that everyone has a story that resonates so deeply with him or her. That is exactly why I think large projects such as Humans of New York (HONY) or class assignments such as this one are so important. They afford a medium to individuals to reflect on and share such (to quote Chris) spiritual, moving, and inspiring stories, and provide the reader with an entirely new demention of insight.

    In order to write a Literacy Narrative, you must first choose one specific moment or topic that you think is very significant to you or interest you. The first thing I do when it comes to writing is that I make my own space. I make sure I stay in a quiet room where I am able to think, focus, and concentrate on my writing. Then I start recapping my moments, and just start writing whatever comes to my mind to express my words and thoughts through writing. After a while, I take a few breaks in between where I get myself a little snack or a drink and then later on, I start working on my paper.…

    I start to feel the nerves rushing; I begin to read ahead making sure I know all the words I’m about to read to the entire class.

    I have known this program for years due to the fact that my brother attended, after conducting this interview I have gain lot more knowledge and background of the organization. However, I do remember was that the teachers from the after school program would go to the Public schools in the neighborhood and pick up the children for the after school program. My mom would tell me stories of when my brothers were in the program the teachers would teach the children more than what the DOE requires of them, and when a Specialist from the DOE would come for an inspection to see how things are going the teachers would often hide whatever they did that is not a part of the DOE Creative Curriculum.
